MOSCOW (AP) - Police stopped a man driving a car wired with land mines and explosives in downtown Moscow early Saturday, Russian security officials said.

The man, detained by Moscow police around 1 a.m., told police he had been paid $1,000 to park two cars with explosives in them along a Moscow street frequently used by top government officials, said the duty officer at the Federal Security Service.

The officer said the man later suffered a heart attack and died while in police custody, but he refused to elaborate.

Police later located a second car in a residential neighborhood in central Moscow and used a water cannon to open it. No explosives were found but residents of nearby buildings were evacuated as a precaution, said the officer, who refused to give his name.

After the man in the first car was stopped, police questioned him and found two land mines and seven ounces of TNT in the car. The mines were connected with wires and had an antenna attached to them.

Russian law enforcement officials are on heightened alert following a string of terrorist attacks over the past month, including the near-simultaneous bombings of two passenger jets, a suicide bombing outside a Moscow subway station and the school hostage-taking in Beslan that ended in a hail of gunfire and explosions.

More than 430 people have been killed in the attacks, with some 338 of those deaths coming during the school massacre.

[Piquaboy]

It is very common for people who have been arrested by the Russians to have a heart attack.

Guess there is no ACLU in Russia.

Guess there won't be a Citizen's Police Review Board headed by members of the minority community either.

I wonder where they put his heart after the attack...

[TADSLOS]

Your heart would have an attack too, when a lead suppository is forcefully injected into it at close range.

I'd hope they messed around long enough to find out whichever Tom, Dick, or Abdul planned the deal.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!

Someone calls a rabid dog "a rabid dog" and kills the sucker on site.

You have 10 Muslim in a room. You know one of them is a terrorist that is going to kill 5,000 people (men, women, and children) per prearranged schedule. Of any nationality! These people got to be killing to breath!

What do you do?

Ans:

Democrats: Turn them all loose and start the legal paper work per ACLU

Repubs: Hold them all until someone talks (maybe in 10 years they will talk). in the meanwhile 5000 die

Actual solution: Kill them all!!!!!!!

It's no wonder why Kerry has avoided the press.

Too many tough questions.

Kerry will never be the same man after this campaign is over.

"the man later suffered a heart attack and died"

Our guys should make sure that the creeps we catch also have heart attacks and die, whilst under questioning. This is war and war is hell.

[Coroner]

He's lucky he wasnt caught here doing that. Here in the US we threaten to take away terrorists cable T.V. if they dont talk!!
